It sounds like all your igb = interfaces=20 > are allocating all of your mbuf clusters for their receive rings. >=20 I found this very suggestion on several mailing list discussions [1] and = set these values on Saturday. kern.ipc.nmbclusters=3D"131072" hw.igb.num_queues=3D"2" So far everything seems to back to normal, and netstat -m shows plenty = of headroom now.=20 The problem cropped up after running several months on 9.0-RELEASE when = I brought up another interface. Disabling the new interface didn't = restore normal operation, however. I also tried 8.3-RELEASE but the = problem was worse on it.
